Confirmed from Onanda Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Playful park with trails for walking, a dog-friendly upper area, basketball courts and a playground.
What runners say about Onanda Park
“The only downfall is the geese droppings but it would be impossible to clean up.”
“The park itself is beautiful, with docks to walk out over the water, a swim area that had a life guard, cabins along the side but the whe thing was kind of small.”
“nice peaceful spot, free parking across the street up the curvy road.”
“Easy trail to walk, took me approximately an hour to walk at a moderate pace.”
This is a beautiful park! We went during the off season but we plan to go back during the regular on season. The hiking trails are great with glimpses of a waterfall. Lots of uphill walking though, so be aware of that.
Always beautiful, an easy hike even with littles. Hike the gorge or the trails!
Beautiful park. Multiple trails, however my favorite is the one along the creek that leads to 2 climbable waterfalls (w ropes) and then a final one to view. Trail isn’t super long (maybe a mile idk?) but i recommend waterproof shoes as it makes the hike easier and less messy.
Beautiful little area. We just moved to the area & still figuring it all out! Lots of room to sit with family/friends or going for a swim! I personally wish you were able to go for a walk near the water @ this location but that’s okay many other areas on Canandaigua lake!!
